Effective Instruction

How Students Learn
The book How Students Learn was published in 2005 to answer practical questions that confront every classroom teacher using the latest research on cognition, teaching, and learning. This volume builds on the discoveries detailed in How People Learn. These findings are presented in a way that teachers can use to revitalize their work in the classroom in order to teach more effectively.
